Milwaukee Brewers radio broadcasts will, sadly, never sound the same.
Bob Uecker, the voice of the team on the airwaves for 54 years, a Baseball Hall of Famer and local, statewide and national icon, died Thursday, the Brewers announced.
He was 90 years old.
“Today, we take on the heaviest of burdens. Today, we say goodbye to our beloved friend, Bob Uecker," the team said in a statement. “Ueck was the light of the Brewers, the soundtrack of our summers, the laughter in our hearts, and his passing is a profound loss. He was the heart and soul of Wisconsin and a dear friend.
